Abstract: Let mathcalH be a given finite (possibly empty) family of connected graphs, each containing a cycle, and let G be an arbitrary finite mathcalH-free graph with minimum degree at least k. For pin[0,1], we form a p-random subgraph Gp of G by independently keeping each edge of G with probability p. Extending a classical result of Ajtai, Koml'os, and Szemer'edi, we prove that for every positive varepsilon, there exists a positive delta (depending only on varepsilon) such that the following holds: If pgefrac1+varepsilonk, then with probability tending to 1 as koinfty, the random graph Gp contains a cycle of length at least nmathcalH(deltak), where nmathcalH(k)>k is the minimum number of vertices in an mathcalH-free graph of average degree at least k. Thus in particular Gp as above typically contains a cycle of length at least linear in k.
